I am starting to doubt the “reality” of our conscious, everyday, awareness, since it is so firmly rooted in the falsehood of material existence. There is too much that is *more* real, that is not within the scope of our sensations or awareness. Perhaps it is faith that allows us to move in that sphere, and be affected by those influences, more than it is our limited understanding and sensitivities. It reminds of the story of the Roman soldier in the New Testament. Jesus was healing people, and the soldier came to him. Jesus said to lead the way and He would heal his companion. But the soldier said, “No. Only say the word and I know that he will be healed.” And Jesus marvelled, and told everyone there that such faith He had not yet encountered. He then said, “Be it done according to your faith. Go home, and you will find your friend healed.”
